Water-Cooled Radiation Shielded X-ray Tube

Neptune 5200 Series

Technical Datasheet

The Neptune 5200 Series is a water-cooled 50kV, 100W packaged X-ray tube designed
for applications where high flux density and continuous operation are important.
Utilizing our high stability and high intensity X-ray tube technology, the Neptune 5200 Series is ideal for most
industrial inspection and non-destructive testing applications that require high resolution, including
plastic, metal and mechanical parts inspection. Flexible and reliable, this unit is also highly
suited for use in high power XRF applications.
The 5200 Series has a brass package that features 0.2 liter/min of water flow,
which enables the unit to provide maximum X-ray shielding and heat dissipation.
The design includes high voltage, filament and water flow connectors, making it
ideal for plug and play operation.
The Neptune 5200 Series is available in wide range of targets and price points to
meet your needs.
